I am having troubles when I connect with my repository through Xcode.
I have a Gitlab version (full pre-)installed on TurnkeyLinux Virtual Appliance on a remote server.
In the Gitlab Web interface, I've created a new test user: "testuser" with a password "password" and a new project "testproject". This user was assigned to this project.
The git url project are:
HTTP: http://example.com/testuser/testproject.git
SSH: git#example.com:testuser/testproject.git
I can see the repositories folder rightly created with a "Terminal" through SSH connection.
Now, I want add this git repository to my Xcode repositories.
So, In
XCode > Preferences > Account
I'm trying add it, using both urls and my user credentials, but always receive the following message:
"Authentication failed because the name or password was incorrect."
Could anyone help me?
The user/password would only be needed for an http url, not an ssh one.
When using the http url to add a repo in your XCode Accounts, make sure there is no proxy which would prevent the resolution of the example.com server.
If it is still not working, then, as in "Authentification issue when pushing Xcode project to GitHub", try to use an url like:
https://testuser:password#example.com/testuser/testproject.git
Even if the problems seems solved I've found this question when I had the problem using XCode 10.
I tried logging in to GitHub and got the same error. The workaround described didn't fix my problem but I've found another solution on my own which I'd like to share – maybe it helps somebody ;)
My GitHub password included an 'ä' character (I'm German) and seems XCode and GitHub don't support the used encoding. After changing my password to something without an 'ä' it worked fine. Maybe it wasn't because of the 'ä' but it already helped to change the password - I don't know.
Thank you, but the reasons are Xcode seems a little crazy…
In
Xcode > Source Control > Test Project (master) > Configure Test Project…
I've just added my repository HTTP URL and credentials were not needed, and when I trying push/pull actions Xcode ask me for user/password.
Seems to be Repository in Preferences > Account doesn't work fine…
you'd better use the project configuration:
‘Source Control’ > ’(project name)-Master’ > ‘Configure (project name)’,
select ‘Remote’, choose ‘+’ > Add Remote
Name : origin
Address : git#gitlab.com:xxx/yyy.git
(Curiously it appears after this in the XCode prefs)
Don't forget: using SSH, the password is the one you used (keygen) when building the key !
I don't want to use HTTP! Key file under "git" user is very convenient and secure, I'm not going to type my password in a unencrypted URL entry in some plist file.
In my case, the problem was that Xcode was trying to use the wrong key file : .ssh/id_rsa instead of .ssh/id_dsa
Here using Xcode 7.3.1 and finally managed to push using ssh (and Gogs as github server) by doing so:
1) select the correct private key (there must also be the public key file present)
on Gogs side:
2) add that same key from the Gogs user Settings->SSH Keys
3) under admin panel: Dashboard: Operations: rewrite the authorised_keys file
Done

Background
I have a system where when I push changes to my Repository, A web hook sends a request to my site which runs a bash script to pull the changes and copy any updated files.
I added a second repository with its own deploy key but after doing so i was getting a permission denied error when trying to pull changes.
Question
Is there a way to use 2 deploy key's on the same server?
Environment Details
Site uses Laravel 5.6, Symfony used to run shell script
Git 1.7
Go Daddy web hosting (Basic Linux one)
Notes
Script just runs git pull command
Error given is " Permission denied (publickey) "
SHH is used as a deploy key so only read access, there is one other project also using a deploy key on the same server
Thank you in advance for you help! Any other suggestions are welcome!
Edit #1
Edited post to reflect true problem as it was different to what I though (Feel free to revert if this is bad practice), please see answer below for details and solution
What i though was an issue with authentication what actually an issue with the git service not knowing which ssh key to use as i had multiple on the server.
The solution was to use a config file in the .ssh folder and assign alias to specify which ssh key to use for git operations in separate repositories.
Solution is here: Gist with solution
This gist explains the general idea, it suggests using sub-domains however a comment further down uses alias which seems neater.
I have now resolved the issue and the system is working fine with a read-only, passphrase-less deploy key.
This can be done by customizing the GIT_SSH_COMMAND. As ssh .config only gets the host, you have to create aliases to handle different paths. Alternatively, as the git CLI sends the path of the repo to the GIT_SSH_COMMAND, you can intercept the request in a custom script, added in between git and ssh.
You can create a solution where you extract the path and add in the related identity file, if available on the server.
One approach to do this can be found here.
Usage:
cp deploy_key_file ~/.ssh/git-keys/github-practice
GIT_SSH_COMMAND=custom_keys_git_ssh git clone git#github.com:github/practice.git
I've installed Coda 2 version 2.0.12 on my MacBook.
I've also installed GIT and registerd the path in Coda 2 preference "Git Tool path.
When I add a new site to Coda 2, I try to clone it from my Git repository, but it gives me an authentication failed error.
My local root is set to an empty folder.
The password that I use is the one of my Gitlab user, and it doesn't give any problem when I login to the Gitlab website.
Is this a Coda2 issue? Does someone have any workaround?
Make sure you enter the right username and password for your https access in the coda settings:
You need to select https as protocol.
I had the same problem and I've found a solution. Gitlab (and Github) says :
"If you used a non-default file path for your GitLab SSH key pair, you must configure your SSH client to find your GitLab private SSH key for connections to GitLab."
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/#working-with-non-default-ssh-key-pair-paths
The target URI will become https://thetitan#github.com/thetitan/sourcecodedna.git. Now Git has a username to authenticate with.
I'm using the latest Github for Mac as a new Git user. When I try to sync a repo (that I first cloned, then created a new branch, commited changes, and then merged with master), I got the error:
Authentication Failed.
You may not have permission to access repo111. Check Preferences to make sure you’re still logged in.
I searched for similar questions, but the answer seemed to be add SSH keys to github, so I followed: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys.
When I do ssh -T git#github.com, I get:
Hi User111! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
I'm logged in as the correct user, and have rights to the repo, so I'm not sure why I'm not authenticated?
It could be that you entered a password incorrectly and it's stored in your keychain.
For my situation, I was using GitHub for Mac to work with a BitBucket repository. Long story short, I mistyped my BitBucket password and GitHub for Mac could not authenticate (because the password stored in my keychain was wrong).
Thanks to the helpful folks at GitHub, they quickly responded when I asked for help:
Open Keychain Access.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and search for "GitHub for Mac." There should be an entry like "GitHub for Mac — bitbucket.com". Delete that entry
Steps to fix if using GitHub for Mac to manage a BitBucket repo
If you see this:
… then you might have a BitBucket keychain/password problem.
Open Keychain Access.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and search for bitbucket:
Right-click on the entry and get info:
Click on "Access Control" to confirm that it's truly the GitHub for Mac BitBucket password/login keychain item:
Rather than deleting the keychain entry/item, I just edited my password:
You should now be able to use GitHub for Mac without authentication failures. :)
Had the same problem, but it was not a password problem, since other repositories worked just fine.
Finally compared .git/config with a working repository and found this:
This failed:
[remote "origin"]
url = github#github.com/path/to/repository
This worked:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/path/to/repository
Still have no idea how or why this changed.
I had to try some other stuff after the solutions above didn't work out for me.
Dont know why I got this issue, or why was fixed after:
deleting the existing keys:
.ssh/github-rsa
.ssh/github-rsa.pub
restarting GitHub Desktop, which automatically regens the keys
add new keys to repo host (bitbucket etc)
I had the same problem, then I followed this steps:
Login to BitBucket and go to the repository you want to use
Click the “Clone” button, and change the drop down option to HTTPS.
Copy the command that appears (something like: git clone https://username#bitbucket.org/team-name/repository-name.git)
Open terminal in your mac and navigate to wherever you want the theme files to be stored.
Paste the clone command in the terminal, press enter and then enter your password when requested.
In Github for Mac go to the repositories screen and click the + sign in the status bar.
Select Add Local Repository – and then select the repository of the folder you want to add.
Done
If you have created remote repository on GitHub and merged with local repository or project .
you can add that local repository to GitHub desktop app
than go to Repository > repository settings > Remote >
under remote You'll find primary remote repository (origin)
there's a ssh remote url delete that And
Go to your GitHub account.
Open Your Remote repository
click on Clone or Download
Copy the https URL
paste that in the GitHub desktop app
click on fetch in the Desktop GitHub App
It'll work Great :)
If your password is correct and you still see have this problem, chances are your .git/config file has some miss configuration.
In my case, it had a pushurl value under [remote "origin"] which was not needed (I was working on a cloned project).
Comment that line by adding a # before it and you are good to go :)
Also, if you get an error saying:
This repository is configured for Git LFS but 'git-lfs' was not found on your path. If you no longer wish to use Git LFS, remove this hook by deleting .git/hooks/pre-push
just delete that by doing
rm .git/hooks/pre-push
now you are all set. This happened to me also using github desktop app for mac, with a remote bitbucket repo.
hint: if you commit changes and refresh bitbucket to see the changes, those might not show, but navigate to the root of the project and then back to the file and you'll see the changes. Probably some cache issue but it can drive you mad if you don't know this hint.
I'm trying to push my committed changes to Github using Terminal on Mac OS but
it keeps saying that the access to the repository is denied to my old github user
Permission to myuser/test1.git denied to "OldUser".
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/"NewUser"/test1.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I found some similar problems but none of the answers worked for me:
First of all Iv'e removed all the SSH keys from my mac and created a new one which I then synced with my github account.
Second, I have set the Global config for git to my new username and email using
git config --global user.name AND user.email
When I changed the user and email in the git local config file in my project dir (thinking at least that would work), I was surprised to see the same error when pushing, with my old user name popping out again.. (I really thought a local config would override any old global values) I just don't know where to look anymore..
There are no git environment variables defined and the SSH keys were all re-created.
seems that the last option is to re-install git which would be a really ugly way out..
Oh! BTW when i'm trying to push to github using the dedicated MacOS app it works just fine! I wasn't surprised a bit because all users reporting this problem said that the app worked for them just fine.. Just thought I mention it!
So, if anyone got an answer (or at least a hunch) it would help me a lot.

It is possible the gitHub for Mac is using https url, with your GitHub login/password (which GitHub for Mac is caching).
Check the url associated with your remote origin:
git remote -v
If it is an https url (like your error message suggests "unable to access 'https://github.com/"NewUser"/test1.git/'"), no amount of SSH fiddling will change that error.
Maybe, for http url, the Credential Caching on Mac OS X has still the old credentials.
I had the exact same error on Windows and apparently it's a Git problem. Thanks to ayan4m1 at github forums (https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/issues/152) I finally fixed this issue in Windows using notepad in admin mode to delete the credential.helper = manager lines from the C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc.gitconfig file. Nothing else worked.
Apparently since I was in non-elevated mode in Git bash from my IDE none of my global commands were able to overwrite the global file. Hope this helps and saves time for someone else with this issue.
Every time I try to push a repository in GitHub with Pycharm the it fails.
Push failed: fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/(my github repository)/'
In Settings->Version Control->GitHub, I filled the fields Host, Loging and Password (Auth Type: Password). Testing it: "Connection successful"
In Settings->Version Control->Git, Path to Git executable is seted with the full path, SSH executable: Buil-in
Pycharm version 3.1.1
Git version 1.8.4.msysgit.0
On Win 7.
I tried all but it worked me charm :
The problem I had : Every thing was working from terminal and from Github desktop as well.
But when I tried to PUSH/PULL from pycharm it wasn't working.
Reason : It happens because by-default pycharm save password locally in DB.
Work around: Go to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings> Passwords, clicked on 'Do not save..", restarted IntelliJ and VCS asked for password again.
It seems there is some issue (if using https) if username or password contains "some" special characters.
So, I've generated a secondary password ("personal access token") in GitHub's application settings page (using the "Create new token" button), I did copy this token. Then I've selected Auth Type: Token in Settings->Version Control->GitHub, and pasted the token.
Testing it: Connection successful for user . Now the git push works perfectly.
I struggled with this problem for half a day using Git in PyCharm.
Solution: Settings => Version Control => Git => ticked "Use credential helper" and then it worked perfect.
If your username or password has special characters, you can replace it with the Percent-encoding for theses characters.
for example, if your password is "test#2010", you will write it as "test%402010" and the config command will be like this
git config remote.origin.url https://{username}:test%402010#github.com/{repo_username}/{repo_name}.git
So I found the solution to my problem, and I hope this helps:
If you are using KDE, or Gnome, your "KDE Wallet", or "Gnome Keyring" manager will save your password when you push for the first time. However, if you enter the password wrong, these managers (ksshaskpass for KDE) will store the wrong password and will send the wrong password every time.
To fix this, open the appropriate manager and change the password. With KDE, it is in: Kick-off-menu > System Settings > Account Details > KDE Wallet, then click "Launch Wallet Manager", and find "ksshaskpass", expand it, and then expand "Passwords", then find your github registered email address there, click it, and on the right, click on "Show Contents". Now change that value (in case wrong password), then hit save. and you're done!
Now that means you don't have to type in your password each time for https push, and you don't have to use SSH keys either ;)
I came across this once. Turned out that the Web Credentials in the Credentials Manager stored an incorrect password for github.com and gitlab.com.
I removed that and it gave me the option to log in when I added a new repository.
Ok guys, I tried all suggested solutions and they did not worked for me.
I use git bash and bitbucket.
Finally I turned it upsidedown, and it worked - at least that way. I know this is difficult and foolish solution, but it worked.
So the steps:
you have your code on your local machine.
you have your repo /on bitbucket/
Delete your repo or make a new one with new name
Make a readme.md with the help of the /bitbucket's/ dashbord
clone the new repo
copy your files into this new folder which you want to push
do the git bash work (add,commit) and push it to the repo.
In PyCharm go to:
Settings > Version Control > Github > +
add credentials
AND:
Check your open browsers, when logging in from pycharm into GitHub a tab is opened to authorize Jetbrains the access to your Github account.
I am using High Sierra on an old iMac and originally tried to push a new local project to a new remote.
Unable to get authentication working on Terminal I then tried to use PyCharm as a vehicle to save the authentication token from Github.
In the past I was accustomed to the IDE prompting for the use of a token and even suggesting me to open Github.com to generate the appropriate one.
PyCharm was not able to push a new branch but it did not give any such hints for a solution in the error message
12:56 Push failed
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Show details in console
My solution was to go into the settings and there I found the connection to Github unset - and I was able to link a token.
But I also had to set the remote with the HTTPS link. When I tried with the SSH URI it did not work.
